Dear Ed and Marcia, I am at a loss for words. It is hard to imagine the sweet, beautiful, gigglie, little girl I knew to be gone. She was such a joy to be around. I can still see the sparkle in her eyes. I'm sure you must have an ache in your heart that feels like it will never go away. The good part is you KNOW you will see her again. She is walking streets of gold and has no more pain, no more tears. Know that you and your family are in our prayers. You are loved.....

To the family of Marybeth,
I had the honor of helping Marybeth years ago when she injured her wrist and came to me for therapy. Everyone in our office still remembers her because she radiated the love of Christ and her family. She was so proud of Jacob and told us all about his races and why participating with him was so important. I am so sorry for your loss. MaryBeth was a bright light.

Dear Lars,
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Mary Beth at Surg. Assoc. She was just a positive person and will truly be missed. I attended her Memorial Service and it was the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed. What a tribute to her.

Dear Lars and Jacob - My heart goes out to you and all of the family in learning of our precious MaryBeth passing from this earth! I rejoice knowing that she is with our Lord Jesus and picture her just full of questions and wonder as she walks and talks with Him this very moment. My heart is heavy for all of you as the void on this earth will be a big one as MaryBeth was one of the most precious people God placed in my life and so many others she touched! She has such a big heart and loves her family immensely!! She is still with you all in Spirit and life is Eternal as provided by our Savior - Thank you Jesus! I am thankful for the time I spent with MaryBeth - she and I worked together and remained friends for quite awhile - we lost touch just with the busyness of life & just this Saturday - as we drove through Medina I told my husband I need to find MaryBeth and catch up as I wanted to tell her I have remarried! Now to learn I will have to wait until Heaven makes me so sad as she has always had a special place as a sister of the heart! I pray the Comforter bring the peace that surpasses all understanding to you all!
God Bless - Deanna Hicks - Wells

To MaryBeth's Family-
I know that you all know how special she was and how MaryBeth touched the hearts of many people. She will be missed but we know she will always be with us. She is one the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure to know even for the few short years I did know her. Your family will forever be in my heart and I will love her always. She and Lars helped me understand what a great gift life is and how it should be embraced and lived. God Bless.
